Still a Win

Yeah for date nights!

Usually Craig spends Friday evenings with his dad, but he decided to spend it with me this week. 🙂

We decided to have a low-key date night ‘in’ with pizza and a movie.

I made up the pizza dough and while it was rising, we walked to the closest Red Box to rent a DVD. After some discussion and compromising, we decided on The Informant.

When we got back, I rolled out the crust and Craig piled the toppings on the pizza. (We each have our specialty. 😉 )

I had two pieces of pizza along with some roasted asparagus.

The pizza was just so-so. I tried a new recipe for the crust and it tasted like a soft piece of bread, so it wasn’t that great. I need to just go back to my tried and true recipe for KG’s Homemade Pizza Dough.

During the movie, I had a small glass of wine.

We also weren’t that impressed with the movie. It wasn’t the worst movie we’ve seen, but it wasn’t that exciting either. Plus I got pretty lost in the story line, which made it hard to follow along. Oh well, it was still a win because Craig and I got to spend the evening together!

One thing that did turn out amazing was this baked tofu I made up this afternoon.

I had leftover tofu from our Vegetable Pad Thai earlier in the week, so I followed Tina‘s recipe for French Toast Baked Tofu that I really wanted to try. How could I not make this sweet yet healthy creation?!?!

It was so good!! I tried making baked tofu a while back, but it didn’t turn out very good–not good at all. But this, this I will definitely be making again!

The sweetened, toasted coconut on the outside was like eating dessert. You must try!

I’m off to do a little reading before my eyelids become too heavy to keep open.

Question

How did you spend your Friday evening?

Hi, I'm Michelle

I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and racing anything from the 5K to the marathon. I have been blogging here since 2010 when I ran my first marathon. I finally secured my sub-3 hour marathon after trying for 8 years.

    I spent my Friday night driving down to Jersey, nothing too exciting. Do you ever try cooking your dough without a topping first for 10-15 minutes? I find it makes it crisper in the end and doesn’t get soggy from the sauce and cheese.

    Watched “What Would You Do” on tv with the husband. I love relaxing after a long week of work. 🙂
